| Additional information |
Issued as part of Israel's long-running Independence Day commemorative series, this 1985 piece marks the country's 37th anniversary. The specific theme — scientific achievement — reflects a deliberate push by the Israeli government during the 1980s to position the country internationally as a center of technological and medical research, a period when institutions like the Weizmann Institute were receiving significant state emphasis.
The .850 silver standard used here is slightly below the more common .925 fineness, a specification Israel maintained consistently across several of its commemorative sheqel issues from this era.
